We'll see if everyone decides to come. There's a bit of a gap between the World Championships and Pan American Games, but October may be tough for our university swimmers. Still something like our Commonwealth Games team where most came would be much better than our past teams.

Interesting story about Kharun
 
He was initially going to represent at the 2022 Junior Pan Pacific Championships, but it turned out he wasn't a US citizen and was actually born in . Unsurprisingly, Canada was quick to scoop him up. Hopefully he stays with us.

Yeah, who knows how far would have gone if placed in an easier group

Yeah, South Sudan has made basketball a priority ever since it became an independent nation. It's nice to see their efforts paying off.

This will be quite interesting. As you said, anything with a measurement/score can be compared. Head-to-head competitions like boxing will be a bit more difficult.

Some days I like to imagine a 192-team World Cup. Screw logistics and the time it would take to complete. I want a true World Cup
 
Sorry for the 19 or so teams which won't participate.

If it wasn't for a bad run at the Olympics she could have medaled.

Auger-Aliassime is now perfect in 2022 team competitions!! (Davis Cup, ATP Cup, Laver Cup) 

Yeah, unless the IOC wants to allow smaller venues it's going to be very difficult for anyone, but the most wealthy nations to host.
 
You can probably add and to the short list. will join once they are no longer a pariah. Still, not even a dozen nations capable of hosting. If you really want to, you could add in the maybe pile since they have some of the venues...

Not surprised that the United States is on an entirely different level than the rest of the continent. My prediction was them winning 9/12 quotas and they did even better by winning 10. In addition to their performance at the World Championships, they now have maximum quotas in five events (men's trap & skeet and women's 50m rifle, 10m rifle & skeet) so at least the rest of us now have a chance at qualifying.
 
With the 2023 World Championships scheduled before the 2023 Pan American Games, we could also see the United States qualify their second quota in women's trap.

silver for in the BB

is out due to the provincial government not supporting it. Too bad, I thought we could have had a good chance.

We are down to and

Lucky for you, skeet is one of the events in which we get four qualifiers and the United States has already won one quota.

Grau with a big mistake, he may not make the final.

Another 4th place for Black

fails to reach the Cup Quarterfinals. Also, went from defeating in one match only to lose to in the next. They also missed the Cup Quarterfinals.

This is a very poor move and will create a further gap between the top nations and the rest.
 
Even if we assume the Challenger Series will have a proper schedule (say 6 stops), funding for the national teams will be a big issue. Some of the core teams are already struggling and it will be more so because nobody wants to heavily fund a "division II" team.

I was curious, so here are the top qualification round scores of Pan American nations from the most recent World Championships and South American Games (since they were held so close together). I removed the athletes which already qualified an Olympic quota. Unsurprisingly, is the favourite in most events where they have the highest score in 9/12 events. Just as a heads up, Canada, Cuba and Guatemala were missing some of their top athletes at the World Championships so things may get shaken up during the actual event.
